ABOUT ME

I'll do pretty much anything you tell me to so long as you preface it with "Hey Justin I dare you." I'm kind of a class clown and a born adventurer. I love trying new things, eating new foods, being the center of attention, meeting new people and being the center of attention.

Originally from Chicago, I've been permanent traveler for just under a year now with somewhat of a homebase in Phoenix. I spend a lot of time in Chicago, New York, California and Texas.

I identify most with Howard Hughes (in the 20s and 30s, not after he lost it), Sterling Archer, and the most interesting man in the world.

PHILOSOPHY

I am a risk taker. I feel like you can't have everything you want unless you're willing to risk everything that you have.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I've been doing the PT thing around the states for awhile and I haven't maintained a permanent residence since May.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've mostly stayed with friends, but would like to start venturing out to finding new people.

Interests

I'm a serial entrepreneur and startups are a major part of my interests. I currently own a software company, am a managing member of a used-car advertising startup, and I sit on the board of a hedge fund.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

The most recent adventure was a 2 day off-roading trip in the desert of Arizona. I bought a beat up truck and some camping gear, and off I went with a few friends.

I almost crashed a plane that I'd rented in Santa Barbara.

I can teach computer programming, mechanical repair, basic physics, and business skills.
